Guess you're not like most fans since you know who the Leafs drafted in the latter rounds. Sorry you accidentally had to educate yourself.

You're missing the point of why this isn't a good trade - a 3rd for a roster player is completely fine and happens all time, because by the 3rd round the draft is more or less a lottery and teams are picking off their internal lists and scouting rather than some projected tiered chart. The problem with this trade is that Lyubushkin is barely a 7th D on Toronto - everyone who played tonight besides Lagesson should be slotted in ahead of him, and Timmins is arguely a more useful player than he is. A player whose worth a 4th at best is not worth retaining on twice, Toronto essentially gave up two assets which <em>might</em> be useful for someone who doesn't push anyone else out of the lineup. The Leafs could've absolutely gotten a better player for a similar return.
